The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 280 Feeling Unease

Joey didn’t say more but giving a ‘hum’ sound as a response. Then she couldn’t help to smile. As she

expected, once Quentin showed up, Ben couldn’t hold his temper anymore.

After a few seconds, Joey gave an order to Helen, "Tell everyone, meeting at 8 am tomorrow. Everyone

in the company must be there, including the new male secretary."

"Yes!"

Helen quickly and obediently responded. She felt relieved and thankful that Joey didn’t give her any

trouble.

When the meeting was officially held, looking at Joey who was sitting in the most dominant seat of the

company, Quentin got stunned. His face was bruised and swollen due to the fight with Ben, however, it

was still so easy to see his shocked expression.

Quentin couldn’t help thinking, when he was the chief secretary for Lawrence in CL Group, Joey was

just an ordinary secretary for Lawrence. After four years since he left, Joey somehow had become the

president of a large listed company.

However, compared to Joey, Quentin’s life was quite embarrassing and rough.

Since his divorce from Amanda, his life began to get worse and worse. First, he lost the love of his life,

then he lost his career and at the same time, got a horrible reputation, which made it hard for him to

find a good job in a short period. He got so depressed and started to revenge on Vivian. However, his

life didn’t get better, instead, he became more and more unhappy after screwing Vivian’s life.

At the end, Quentin had no choice but to leave the city to work and start over.

It was a pity that after four years, he was still nobody with no money. He was deceived several times. In

the end, he decided to return to City A, the big city that once made his life so brilliant.

Once Quentin came back, he sent his resume to all the newly-emerged big companies in the past four

years, seeking job opportunities. Coincidentally, he got hired by Phoebus. Quentin didn't know Phoebus

was Ben's company until today morning.

But when he saw Joey sitting on the seat that meant he has a higher position than Ben, Quentin knew

that the real person who was in charge of this company was Joey. Quentin felt relieved a lot.

Quentin knew Joey before and he felt that he quite understood Joey. In his heart, Joey was very easy

to work with, in other words, Joey was very easy to be controlled.

Of course, the reason why Quentin thought in this way was that his impression of Joey remained the

same as four years ago.

But he didn't know that things had changed, and some people's changes might be significant.

Today Joey held an all-staff meeting. The first thing he announced was to change the company's name.

The original name "Phoebus" would be changed to "FT". Back then, when Ben established Phoebus,

most of the money he used was from Fiona. Fiona paid tons of money to exchange Joey’s pictures and

videos from Ben. So the new name “FT” had special meaning for Joey. It was meant to warn Ben that

he would eventually payback for taking something which did not belong to him.

Ben understood what Joey meant by doing this, but he refused to agree.

Back then, when he named the company, the name Phoebus meant that he would be the king of the

company. If Joey changed the name, it would be like taking away the world and last wish from Ben.

How could he accept it?

What's more, Ben already got so angry seeing Quentin showing up. Joey’s playful expression made

him feel more embarrassed and angrier.

However, no matter how he felt, he couldn’t change anything.

The result of course was that the company changed its name from Phoebus to FT. Quentin stayed as

Joey's secretary. In some respects, Quentin was even more powerful than Ben.

Ben got so irritated and annoyed, but he couldn’t do anything about it.

As for Quentin, he was suffering and depressed for four years. Finally, he became the secretary of the

president again. He couldn't help but feel a little ecstatic. In addition to the fact that the president was

Joey.

He didn't take Joey seriously at first. He always walked into the office without knocking on the door.

And he sometimes talked to Joey as if they were old friends, "I haven’t seen you in four years. I can’t

believe that you are not only more beautiful, but you also become the president of a big company. It’s

amazing. So, are you free at noon? Let’s go for lunch together."

Joey was busy with checking documents. Hearing what Quentin said, she slowly raised her head, then

looked at Quentin expressionlessly without saying anything.

After a long time, the smile on Quentin's face wiped off. At the same time, Quentin felt more and more

awkward in his heart. Then Joey said slowly, "Sorry, I have already made an appointment with Amanda

for lunch."

Hearing Amanda’s name, Quentin’s smile was gone totally. He opened his lips several times, but

suddenly he didn’t know what to say. At this moment, Joey didn’t get mad at him or say anything harsh

to him, but suddenly Quentin didn’t dare to be rude to her anymore.

What was more, Joey also mentioned Amanda at this time, which was definitely the most powerful

name for him now.

"Anything else?"

Seeing Quentin still standing in the office in a daze, Joey raised her eyebrows impatiently.

"No."

Quentin shook his head subconsciously, then squeezed out a smile, trying to make his expression look

more natural. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Joey hummed with her nose, and then said lightly, "Remember to knock on the door next time before

you come in!"

Quentin was stunned again, and then he was extremely angry. Joey's attitude, expression, and tone

were so cold as if she didn't know him at all. But even so, what could he do?

Of course, he couldn't do anything!

So Quentin could only grit his teeth and leave the office. Only then he did realize that Joey was no

longer the girl he once knew!
